Chase Sexton remains the favorite in betting odds for the Unadilla (N.Y.) National, but despite missing the final three Monster Energy Supercross races and the first eight rounds of Pro Motocross, Ken Roczen is ranked second at BetOnline.com.
Adding Roczen to the lineup has shortened Sexton’s odds from -275 from the most recent round at Washougal to -200 this week, but Sexton remains the only rider in the field with minus odds. That places Sexton back where he was for the Spring Creek National. The difference between first and second remains a considerable 475 points for the second consecutive week, making Sexton an overwhelming favorite.
However, traders are not willing to risk the enthusiasm bettors will have for Roczen’s return, nor are they willing to bet against his ability to come back strong. They list him at +275. Unadilla is his only scheduled 450 race before the SuperMotocross World Championship that begins in September.
Hunter Lawrence’s odds dropped 100 points from 2/1 at Washougal to 3/1 for Unadilla. Ranking him third overall shows a lack of confidence on the part of the sportsbook traders.
Aaron Plessinger shows the most notable movement this week, with his +1400 odds at Washougal being trimmed to +600. His current seven-moto streak of top-fives and four podium finishes has not gone unnoticed.
Dylan Ferrandis (+1600) also shows significant movement from his line of +4000 in the most recent National.
There are no head-to-head matchups listed this week.

In the 250 division, Haiden Deegan’s odds have lengthened from -170 at Washougal to -200 for Unadilla, but there are signs that the traders believe competition is heating up.
Tom Vialle significantly changes from +1000 at Washougal to +200 as the series heads to the East Coast for back-to-back races.
Chance Hymas is ranked third again, but despite having two weeks off the bike to allow his leg to heal, his odds have lengthened slightly. He was +425 for Washougal and +500 for Unadilla.
Failing to perform up to expectations on his home track of Washougal, Levi Kitchen took the biggest hit among the top-five riders. He was ranked second last week at Washougal at +350 and a modest +600 for Unadilla. Kitchen failed to stand on the podium in either Washougal moto.
The Triumph riders, Jalek Swoll and Joey Savatgy represent interesting dark horses with 25/1 odds, which shows increased confidence from last week. Swoll was listed at +4000 in Washougal and Savatgy at +4500.
An additional dark horse has been added this week. Casey Cochran attaches to the bottom of the list at +5000.
As with the 450 class, there are no head-to-head matchups in 250s this week.
